DISTRIBUTING PARTICULATE MATERIAL

摘要

Particulate material in a box (10) is given a predetermined distribution by mounting the box on a support (12) and operating moving means (16) to bring about controlled movements of the support and the box while retaining the orientation of the box constant. The support (12) is mounted to move horizontally on a circular path. The controlled movements may comprise a movement around the horizontal circular path, and at least one movement back and forth along an arc of said path.
